There are things we keep in boxes like hearts and wounds and words
There are things we keep in boxes like feelings and failures and dreams
There are things we keep in boxes like what he should be and who she is
And I have told things to these boxes like I love you and I miss you and goodbye
See I hold things in these boxes filled with shame and trust and joy
And I have left things in these boxes like all those things about that boy
And even though they lay in boxes most of them I can't forget
But there are worlds of me in these boxes soaked in tears and some regret
But I have packed these things in boxes and I have stacked these things in boxes
Because if I can pack these things in boxes I can keep them safe and secret
Because if I can stack these things in boxes they will keep me safe and secret
Yes, there are things like me in boxes
